The Demonic Sword God And The Jade Snail Clan Leader
“Kill!”
Zhou Hongxian’s figure flashed, like a specter, she approached the Bat Cave Master, letting out a sharp cry, her right palm suddenly striking down.
A mass of white flames, condensed to the extreme, erupted from her palm, incredibly hot.
The air seemed to be instantly ignited, emitting a sizzling sound, and blazing flames rose.
The flames weaved like spiritual snakes, precisely targeting the Bat Cave Master, their power astonishing.
With this single move from Zhou Hongxian, the profound foundation of this Empress was evident.
She controlled these white flames with supernatural skill, sometimes gathering, sometimes scattering, her offensive like a tide.
The Bat Cave Master retreated repeatedly, his fist shadows dense, yet under the scorching flames, he was steadily defeated, the protective spiritual shield emitting cracking sounds, the situation perilous.
A flash of shock crossed his eyes, he roared, “Luo Dahai!”
The words were not yet finished.
That huge, pitch-black alms bowl spun rapidly, instantly flying over, suspending above the Bat Cave Master’s head.
Layers of black light screens, like a dome-shaped shield, blocked Xie Fei’s Sword Qi and Zhou Hongxian’s flames completely.
The alms bowl hummed, demonic energy permeated, the imposing manner of a Nascent Soul Ninth Level cultivator swept through the Underground Palace, causing the stone walls to shed dust.
“With this Supreme Treasure, what more can you do to me? Hahaha…”
The Bat Cave Master laughed wildly, then the killing intent in his eyes intensified, seizing the opportunity to attack Zhou Hongxian.
“Do you really think you’ve stopped me?”
Xie Fei sneered, his figure suddenly flashing, transforming into a gigantic hand, seizing toward the alms bowl.
This time he used the power of the 《Nine Hells Destruction Fist》!
The giant hand’s power was unparalleled, carrying a domineering power of destruction, instantly severing the Bat Cave Master’s spiritual power connection with the alms bowl.
“What?!” The Bat Cave Master’s face drastically changed, he looked at Xie Fei in panicked confusion.
He frantically activated his Secret Method, attempting to recall the alms bowl, but it was like a drop in the ocean, without any response.
The alms bowl hung in mid-air, its humming gradually weakening, seemingly completely suppressed by Xie Fei’s giant hand, unable to move.
“Die!”
Zhou Hongxian seized the opportunity, her eyes flashing with brilliance, the mysterious Five Elements Profound Skill within her body operating to the extreme.
The previously scorching white flames suddenly changed, transforming into piercing ice.
The East Sea’s water vapor was already abundant, this ice spread almost instantly!
The Underground Palace’s high temperature plummeted, the entire underground world transformed into an icy world of Heaven and Earth.
The stone walls and ruins were completely covered in frost, the cold air biting.
Bang!
Countless ice crystals burst, like countless sharp blades scattering.
Zhou Hongxian’s figure emerged from the ice mist, her clothes fluttering, her imposing manner sharp.
And the Bat Cave Master had been swallowed by the ice burst, his enormous body turned into pieces of ice sculpture, his spiritual power dissipating, his vitality completely gone.
The ice sculptures shattered, scattering on the ground.
A Nascent Soul Ninth Level Rogue Cultivator giant, thus perished.
Xie Fei’s gaze moved slightly, he raised his hand and with a gesture, silently absorbed the Bat Cave Master’s dissipating spiritual power into the System Space.
He looked at Zhou Hongxian, his tone carrying a hint of admiration: “Your Five Elements transformation method, the mutual generation of fire and ice, is exquisitely superb.”
Zhou Hongxian withdrew her Profound Skill, snorted, and pointed at the Sword Domain, laughing: “Your self-created Domain is not bad either!
“With this thing out, who below Transformation can resist?
“The Bat Cave Master didn’t die unjustly.”
Xie Fei smiled, his thoughts moving, the Sword Domain dissipated, the Underground Palace restored to calm.
His gaze swept across the ruins, he said in a deep voice: “This Bat Cave Master was not a member of the Demon Clan, there is not a trace of demonic energy in his body.”
Zhou Hongxian nodded, her gaze falling on the scattered crystalline sand grains on the ground, her eyes lit up: “These are night-shining sands!
“The main ingredient for refining special Healing Pills, specifically treating hidden injuries and stagnation.
“For cultivators who cultivate the Divine Eye Secret Art, it is an invaluable treasure.
“Let’s collect them quickly!”
As she spoke, she waved her hand, her spiritual power transforming into a gentle light screen, collecting all the night-shining sands on the ground.
Xie Fei thought for a moment, also took a small portion of the night-shining sands, storing them in the System Space.
Although the night-shining sands are not needed now, whether it’s for keeping as a spare or giving to a few apprentices, it’s fine.
Anyway, it’s free to take.

【Adept at Water（Talent）: Bestows the possessor with special underwater abilities, permanently increasing underwater speed by two times, and halving consumption!】
【Sixty years of cultivation（purple）：……】
【10,000 Spirit Stones（ordinary）：……】
…
In the battle with the Demon Lord at Yinshan, Xie Fei was already half a step into Nascent Soul Sixth Level.
Now, with the addition of the sixty-year cultivation rebate this time, he can completely break through once he finds a suitable place.
However, the System’s rebate reminder caused Xie Fei’s gaze to fall on the pitch-black alms bowl suspended in mid-air.
The alms bowl hummed, its demonic energy weak, Luo Dahai’s consciousness faintly visible under the suppression of the Secret Method.
But at this moment.
The cave suddenly transmitted waves of spiritual power fluctuations.
Following that.
Several figures arrived like flowing light, their killing intent revealed.
A rough voice exploded: “I didn’t expect that the Bat Cave Master’s lair would be occupied by others!
“Kid, leave that alms bowl!”
Xie Fei frowned, looking up.
He saw eight figures swooping in from the cave entrance, their auras varied, their strengths different.
Four of them had the deepest auras.
The leading man carried a long sword on his back, his sword intent soaring to the heavens, sharp and unparalleled.
He was clearly a Nascent Soul Ninth Level Peak cultivator, a half-step to Transformation!
“Why are so many people appearing?”
Zhou Hongxian, having just finished collecting the night-shining sands, saw this scene and quickly stood beside Xie Fei.
The comers were not friendly!
As soon as the eight appeared, without a word, they attacked together.
Spiritual power surged like a tide, transforming into blade lights, fist shadows, thunder, and other offensives, bombarding towards Xie Fei and Zhou Hongxian.
Xie Fei coldly snorted, raising his hand and waving it.
Limitless Sword Qi erupted, transforming into dense sword glows, blocking all incoming attacks.
However, one attack was particularly special.
It was a supremely pure Sword Qi.
Moreover, it avoided Xie Fei’s sword glow defense, directly stabbing at the alms bowl.
The Sword Qi’s power was astonishing, colliding with the alms bowl, emitting a resounding clang, almost shaking it away.
Zhou Hongxian reacted extremely quickly, letting out a sharp cry, her crimson flames transforming into a long dragon, sweeping out.
Immediately, she blocked half of the offensive, sharing the pressure with Xie Fei.
Rumble!
The spiritual power collided within the Underground Palace, explosions unending.
After this clash, the eight people retreated slightly.
But suddenly, another Sword Qi shot out from the crowd, its target still the alms bowl.
Xie Fei’s gaze turned cold, he directly reached out his right hand.
Power adhered to it, directly grabbing towards that Sword Qi.
Bang!
The Sword Qi exploded in his palm, transforming into dots of spiritual light, dissipating without a trace.
“This Sword Qi… why does it feel familiar?”
Xie Fei looked up.
Staring at the sword-carrying man in the crowd.
It was none other than the First Sword of the Sword Burial, Guo Feng!
Xie Fei had interacted with this person a few times.
Although they never used their real identities.
“Why are people from Sword Burial also in the East Sea?”
Xie Fei hadn’t expected this situation.
And compared to before.
Guo Feng’s strength and Sword Dao realm had both undergone enormous changes.
“His cultivation is actually at the Nascent Soul Ninth Level Peak, half a step to Transformation.
“And his Sword Dao realm has reached the Pinnacle of Sword Divinity.”
There were a total of eight people who appeared with Guo Feng.
Four of them were middle-aged, and their strength was also the strongest.
“Hmm? I seem to have seen you a few times at Everflow Sword Sect.
“Are you an Elder of my Everflow Sword Sect? State your name!”
At this time, Guo Feng seemed to have recognized Xie Fei as well, his tone carrying an air of condescension.
Xie Fei was stunned again.
Although he hadn’t interacted much with Guo Feng, he could feel that he was an Expert devoted to the Sword Dao.
Why did he seem to have changed today?
After thinking for a while.
Xie Fei used the Fate Golden Eyes.
…
【Name: Guo Feng（Demonized）】
【Gender: Male】
【Lifespan: 55/1200】
【Realm: Nascent Soul Ninth Level】
【Fate Aura: Gold】
【Gold Prodigy Fate…】
【Recent Needs: To pursue the supreme realm of Sword Dao, he demonized, striving to become the strongest sword in the Southern Border of Mystic Continent!】
…
“He actually demonized?”
Xie Fei didn’t know how to comment for a while.
At this time.
Among the eight people, upon hearing Guo Feng’s words, someone immediately spoke: “It turns out to be Elder Guo’s fellow disciple.
“Then this is easy to talk about.
“That Elder over there, this alms bowl is useful to us, lend it to us for a while.”
Lend?
Xie Fei immediately felt like laughing.
This thing probably won’t be returned, right?
Judging from the fact that they attacked immediately upon entering, these people were definitely not good people.
Seeing that Xie Fei remained unmoved.
Guo Feng spoke: “The Bat Cave Master relied on this alms bowl to dominate the East Sea for hundreds of years.
“This item is of great importance, you, a mere Elder, cannot handle it, so leave it in my hands first.
“When you have the ability to control it in the future, I will return it to you.”
Zhou Hongxian heard this and quickly transmitted a voice message: “Xie Fei, don’t believe them.
“They’re using this excuse to seize the treasure because they see that it’s difficult to fight.
“If we couldn’t hold our ground just now, what fellow disciple? Before this treasure, on this East Sea, we would still die!”
Xie Fei nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.
The eight people over there.
Their gazes were fixed on the pitch-black alms bowl in mid-air, their eyes gleaming with greed.
Besides his escape technique, the Bat Cave Master’s most important possession was this alms bowl.
In comparison, the importance of the alms bowl was even higher than his escape technique.
Because as long as you create restrictions, imprisonment or disrupt a certain range of space, you can prevent the Bat Cave Master from using his escape technique.
But this alms bowl is different!
Its defense was extremely strong!
The Bat Cave Master even used this thing to withstand three strikes from a Transformation First Level Expert.
That’s why he became famous.
With such a treasure, wouldn’t he have the strongest life-saving trump card in the future?
Greed killed the last bit of reason.
Several people were already racking their brains to get this Precious Treasure.
Xie Fei saw their burning gazes and coldly laughed: “What a pathetic excuse!
“If you want this alms bowl, those who dare can come and get it!
“Let’s settle this with our hands!”
As soon as these words came out.
One of the eight immediately became angry: “Kid! Don’t think you can be arrogant just because you have some strength!
“There are so many of us here, do you think you can win for sure?
“Since we’re here today, we can’t leave empty-handed.
“You have to give us this alms bowl whether you like it or not!”
After saying that.
This person was about to make a move.
But he was immediately stopped by Guo Feng.
“Since you don’t want to lend it to us, we won’t force you.
“Just take care of yourself in Everflow Sword Sect in the future!”
Guo Feng dropped these words and left with the other seven people.
On the way back.
Someone couldn’t help but doubt: “Brother Guo, we respect you as an elder brother because we believe you can lead us to greatness.
“That kid was clearly bluffing, the Bat Cave Master’s alms bowl is right in front of us, why didn’t you take it?”
The others nodded in agreement, expressing their confusion.
Guo Feng coldly snorted: “Bluffing?
“Two people who can kill the Bat Cave Master in his lair, do you think they’re bluffing?
“Ridiculous!
“No wonder you can only hide in the East Sea as lonely ghosts like Rogue Cultivators, you don’t even have this kind of insight.
“After our first wave of attacks was easily blocked, we should have understood that we probably can’t get this alms bowl today.”
Upon hearing this.
The seven people fell silent.
No matter how unwilling they were, Guo Feng’s words woke them up from their dream.
After leaving the cave.
One person asked: “Then Brother Guo, where are we going now?”
“We continue to find the next target.”
Guo Feng coldly replied: “Kill! Seize treasure! Hone the sword!”
…
“I didn’t expect these people to have some insight.”
Zhou Hongxian saw Guo Feng and the others leave, and couldn’t help but be surprised.
“If they didn’t, they’d probably be lying here as corpses now.”
Xie Fei said, preparing to put away the alms bowl.
Since Guo Feng and the others could find this place, there might be others coming.
It’s better to study this thing after we go out.
But unexpectedly.
The System Space could not store the alms bowl!
After thinking about it, he understood that the alms bowl wasn’t a Magical Treasure, but a demon.
And it wasn’t considered one of Xie Fei’s “pets.”
“What’s wrong?”
Zhou Hongxian noticed Xie Fei’s unusual behavior and turned to ask.
“Nothing, it’s just that this thing is considered a living creature, I can’t collect it.”
Xie Fei said, knocking on the alms bowl.
Zhou Hongxian’s attack was too fierce, causing the Bat Cave Master to die without even being able to say a word.
And he didn’t have the Bat Cave Master’s control method.
The cave entrance was so small, he was thinking about how to take this thing out.
Just then.
The alms bowl suddenly began to vibrate “humming”.
Under Zhou Hongxian and Xie Fei’s surprised gazes.
The alms bowl slowly transformed into a human figure.
“Thank you both for helping me escape from suffering!”
A voice came, the figure bowing respectfully to the two.
“My name is Luo Dahai, I am the Clan Leader of the East Sea’s Jade Conch Clan.
“Unfortunately, I was caught by this evil bat, using an ancient Dragon Clan’s Secret Method, turning me into a Magical Treasure.
“Now that he is dead, the Secret Method has failed, and I have been able to recover…”
Xie Fei and Zhou Hongxian looked at each other in astonishment.
Dragon Clan Secret Method?
The two simultaneously had a question in their minds, did this Bat Cave Master go to the Dragon Palace Treasury?
You must know that there are no more dragons in this world, and there is no such thing as a Dragon Clan Secret Method.
The only place it could possibly exist, in Mystic Continent, is only the Dragon Palace Treasury.
After Luo Dahai finished speaking.
He raised his hand and opened a Different Dimension in this underground world.
“This is where that evil bat hid his treasures, he kept me by his side, so I know how to open this place.”
He took out everything inside and placed it before Xie Fei and Zhou Hongxian.
“I cannot repay your great kindness, if you ever need anything in the future, just command your benefactors.”
Luo Dahai bowed again: “I have been away from my clan for a long time, I’m afraid something might have happened to them, so I won’t stay and chat with my benefactors.”
As soon as the words fell.
He entered the cave and disappeared.
“This is actually the East Sea Myriad Spirit Pill!”
Zhou Hongxian had already begun to inventory the Bat Cave Master’s treasures.
Although the things were piled up like a hill.
But there weren’t many valuable things.
After all, he was just a Rogue Cultivator, if he had various treasures, that would be strange.
Therefore, Zhou Hongxian searched for a long time and only found this East Sea Myriad Spirit Pill.
Xie Fei went over to take a look, there were ten.
“The quality of this Myriad Spirit Pill is not bad, it should be considered a half-step Earth Grade.” Xie Fei picked one up and said.
The Myriad Spirit Pill is a kind of treasure pill in the East Sea.
After taking it, it can improve the cultivator’s Perception of spiritual energy, the higher the grade, the better the effect.
Besides the Myriad Spirit Pill.
Xie Fei also noticed something: “What is this?”
He held it in his hand.
It was the skin of an unknown beast.
It was full of graffiti, he didn’t know what kind of writing it was.
“This is a map of the Dragon Palace Treasury!”
Zhou Hongxian took a look and immediately exclaimed: “This Bat Cave Master really went to the Dragon Palace Treasury!”
